Find LCM of 968,260,393,936 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 968, 260, 393, 936 |
| 2 | 484, 130, 393, 468 |
| 2 | 242, 65, 393, 234 |
| 3 | 121, 65, 393, 117 |
| 13 | 121, 65, 131, 39 |
| 121, 5, 131, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 121 x 5 x 131 x 3 = 74182680
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,260,393,936 is 74182680.
LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.
968 x 260 x 393 x 936 = 92579984640
Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
393 : 1, 3, 131, 393
936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,260,393,936, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
260:2x 2x 5x 13
393:3x 131
936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 13 = 1248
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1248.
Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.
LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
LCM = 92579984640/(1x1248)
LCM = 92579984640/1248
LCM = 74182680
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,260,393,936 is 74182680.
